This is the first in a four-part series of surveys featuring candidates in the Republican and Democratic primaries for U.S. Senate and attorney general. See all of our resources for voting in the Texas primaries here.
For the first time in more than a decade, Texans will pick their next attorney general from a field of candidates that doesn’t include incumbent Republican Ken Paxton, who is giving up the office to run for the U.S. Senate.
On the Democratic side, three candidates are seeking the nomination in the March 3 primary, a contest that will be settled in a May runoff if nobody clears 50% of the vote. The winner will take on the Republican nominee in November. No Democrat has won statewide office since 1994, so whoever wins the primary will be entering the general as the underdog.
